    Nada

    I stayed for more than a month in a spacious room with a private bath. The price was low and is the best that you can get in the Oaxaca area. The location is an easy ~20 min walk from the zocalo and is in a neighbourhood that in my opinion is closer to the real Mexican experience. There is a low-priced meat shop around the corner. Two of the best restaurants in Oaxaca (Hijo del Maiz and Criollo are ~5 mins walk away). It is also very close to the terminals from where buses go to different parts of Oaxaca and Mexico. The host is super friendly and during the course of my stay, I witnessed him taking time to provide relevant information and bending over backwards to cater to guest demands. Importantly, there is a significant water scarcity issue in Oaxaca, and the two properties operated by the business rely on a private water supply that is pumped frequently, which means you are least likely to face a multi-hour water outage if you stay here. There could be a few minutes gap between when the water runs out in the tank and when pump is turned on to refill the tank, but the owner is really diligent about water supply (both hot and cold) when prompted.

    There was some trouble with the shower on the first day, which was solved the following day. The toilet flush sometimes doesn't work very well and the bathroom was a little bit dirty. The hostel is also like a 20 minutes walk to the center.

    The host is super nice and very helpful. We had a lot of space and the kitchen was clean and well equipped. We think it's a great place for such a cheap price.

    No lock on bedroom door, just bring your own padlock.

    Location is excellent, easy walking distance to transport, market and old town. Lots of shops and eateries in the area. Shared areas are very clean and spacious, kitchen is fantastic with everything you need. Shower has very hot water. WiFi was good. Owner was really helpful. Only stayed one night for a bus connection, but would definitely recommend and would stay longer

    This was a great experience. The owner is the nicest man, always happy to help with anything. The apartment was comfortable and cleaned daily. It is less than 15 min walk to the city center, and the price was very good during the high demand of Dia de los muertos.

    This hostel has everything you need. The location is outside of the touristy areas, so it's a bit quieter, but only a 20 minute walk to the city center. The host is very accommodating, quick to respond, and has plenty of local tips. I actually returned to this hostel after spending about two weeks there a little while back because of the comfort and the amazing host. Would absolutely recommend.

    It’s a little bit far from Oaxaca Centro so you have to walk a little bit. But we’d still choose to stay here again!

    Incredible host! Very informative and friendly, always offering assistance and information. Nice vibe in the hostel and feels very safe. Cleaned daily.

    For this price, it would be unfair to nitpick :) The only real issue is the lack of AC cooling(there are fans) during hot days but the hostel would be much more expensove then. Everything is almost perfect.

    Excellent price to quality ratio, amazingly helpful staff, quiet environment, cool balcony, hot water, very clean... there is much to like here.
